The school Shu Ran finally chose was a higher education institution in City A, and her major was the Department of Finance.

Although the university in city A ranks slightly lower in terms of comprehensiveness, its finance department is well-known in China, and most importantly, it is only a few tens of meters away from Lu Li's home.

Originally, Lu Li objected to Shu Ran's study of finance. After all, considering Shu Ran's temper, he was really not suitable for this kind of job.

Later, Lu Li thought that Shuran University also studied finance. Not long after graduation, he started his own company, and the business was very good.

Until Lu Li died of alcohol poisoning at his fiancée's banquet, he remembered that Shu Ran's company's influence was still expanding step by step, from acquiring small companies.The introduction of foreign capital began to accumulate strength a little bit.But to what extent it will expand in the end, Lu Li has never seen it with his own eyes.

However, from the previous indications, it seems that Shu Ran is still a good material for doing business.

Even if he doesn't care about it, Lu Li still wants to try his best to help Shu Ran.Just like the countless reincarnations before, although he can't stay by Shu Ran's side at any time like a relative, he will silently support him behind him.

Speaking of which, even though Shu Ran has already gone to college, she still maintains her original appearance. Every day after school, she cooks meals and prepares everything before Lu Li returns home.

Since bringing Shu Ran into his home, the number of times Lu Li went out to clubs can be counted on one's fingers.

It's not because Lu Li has forgotten his mission, but because he is used to coming home every day after get off work, and seeing the young man who greets him with a smile, will take his coat and press his tired fingers with nimble fingers. shoulders, and then the two of them will have a home-cooked meal together at the same table.

This is much better than the feasting and feasting in the bar.

Habits are a terrible thing, so terrible that Lu Li gradually forgot the initial disgust and resistance, and began to try to accept Shu Ran's existence.

Lu Li passed by a dessert shop when he was going to work today, and the huge glass window was pasted with colorful banners saying 'Birthday Cake Today's Special Offer'. That huge banner suddenly reminded me that today is Shu Ran's birthday.

Last time on Shu Ran's birthday, he spent it in a bar. At that time, the spicy chicken system kept emphasizing in his ears that "persons are set up", and kept repeating that on such an important day as Shou's birthday, he must forget What day is it today? Focusing on hunting for beauty outside can fully reflect his scum and promote the plot.

Lu Li said: Hehe.

So Lu Li, who hadn't been to a bar for a long time, drove to the nearest KTV after get off work that day, ordered a private room, and listened to the songs played on the big screen all night.

When Lu Li returned home, he saw the orange lights still on in the room, and somehow he let out a sigh of relief. He opened the door with the key, and he saw someone leaning on the sofa, sleeping soundly with his arms around the pillow. Shu Ran is as lazy as a cat.

Lu Li walked over, sat on the edge of the sofa and looked at Shu Ran's sleeping face. The eyes of the young man who rarely stayed up late were blue. It seemed that he waited until very late, and he stayed on the sofa when he couldn't bear it anymore. fell asleep.

In the past, Shu Ran would wait for Lu Li like this when he didn't come home. Lu Li emphasized to him several times that there was no need to wait, but Shu Ran still insisted on waiting for him to come back no matter how late.

At that time, Shu Ran was in the sprint stage of the simulation review. In order not to distract him, Lu Li would go home early every day after get off work.

Lu Li was going to carry the young man into his room, but Shu Ran woke up, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, opened his sleepy eyes, his voice was still hoarse from sleep, and said to him: "You come back gone."

Just like the greetings many times before, wait quietly, and then say a heart-warming word.

Lu Li replied softly: "I'm back."

Shu Ran smelled the scent of perfume and wine that did not belong to him on the man's body, the corners of his raised mouth slowly turned down, his originally smiling eyes darkened, but he said to the man calmly: "Go take a bath Bar."

"Hmm." Lu Li also felt uncomfortable when he smelled himself.

When he was at KTV, he met a boy who pretended to go to the wrong room, but actually wanted to come over to give him a hug. The strong smell of perfume almost made him spit out. The manager came over and lectured the boy, then smiled at Lu Li and brought in a bottle of red wine.

He really couldn't understand why there would be men with such mentality in the world, who would not do anything serious, but would sell them in fancy clothes like women.

Going to see those people outside is better than going home to watch Shu Ran come, at least you won't get caught in the eye.

Lu Li poured out the bottle of red wine, drank a few sips, and left the KTV uninterested.

When Lu Li walked into the bathroom with his nightgown, he remembered that there was a birthday gift he had prepared for Shu Ran in the bag. In fact, he had already prepared it a few days ago, but in this situation, he didn't know whether to give the gift to Shu Ran. comfortable.

After thinking about it, I decided to forget it and give it to him tomorrow. If I gave it to him today, it would be too obvious.

As a result, the next morning, when Lu Li was looking for his bag, he couldn't find that exquisite cufflink. He had no choice but to go to the store to buy another one before he got off work, and gave it to Shu Ran when he got home.

He still remembers Shu Ran's eyes full of stars when he received the gift, the smile that burst out at that moment made Lu Li lose his mind, and then when the young man didn't realize it, some cold lips touched him lightly. come up.

After a quick touch, they separated immediately.

It wasn't shocking, nor disgusting, Lu Li didn't know how to describe his mood at that time, but he knew that mood was not negative.

Although there was still some resistance in his heart, but after thinking about it, it would be better to treat Shu Ran as his son. Lu Li, who comforted himself like this, felt much better in his heart.

Lu Li's thoughts came out of his memories, he began to feel lucky that the system had gone to repair his brain, otherwise he would tell him 'don't collapse the human design', force him to forget Shu Ran's birthday, and force him to go clubbing.

Lu Li turned a corner, parked the car in front of the dessert shop, got out of the car and opened the shop door, the wind chime decorated with donuts on the door made a crisp sound.

The clerk was a sweet little girl, and she said, "Welcome, what do you need, sir?"

Lu Li looked at the cakes with different shapes in the glass window, picked out the one that was more pleasing to the eye, and said, "Customize a birthday cake according to this shape, not too big, just enough for two people."

The clerk filled out a form and asked him to come and pick up the cake in the afternoon.

The little girl looked at Lu Li with a nympho smile on her face: "Are you going to buy it back for your girlfriend, sir? We also have matching roses here. Would you like to take a look? If you want it, sir, we can give you a [-]% discount."

"..." Lu Li was speechless for a while, and he said, "No need."

The little girl persevered: "Since I have already bought the cake, why don't I send some roses as well. It would be nice to have a candlelight dinner too. Sir, I don't know how beautiful your girlfriend is to match you?"

Lu Li laughed a few times, but still rejected the little girl's offer.

In fact, Lu Li didn't know what to give as a gift. When he made a girlfriend before, the gifts he gave were all given by Su Jinyan to help him decide.

Thinking of Su Jinyan, Lu Li felt sour in his heart.

The last gift Lu Li asked his secretary An Ting to choose for him. The little secretary has a good eye. The diamond-encrusted watch is really extravagant and wasteful, but Lu Li doesn’t feel distressed when swiping the card. Whoever tells him that the most important thing he needs now is money. .

Lu Li thought silently, I am really a criminal capitalist.

Lu Li held the cake in one hand and the briefcase in the other. When he stood at the door, the door was opened from the inside before he even had to knock.

He was greeted by Shu Ran's bright eyes and slightly surprised expression.

"I came here when I heard the voice... Mr. Ye." Shu Ran obviously didn't expect Lu Li to come back, and his tone was full of excitement.He stepped forward to take the cake from Lu Li, and put it on the table where the food was already set.

Lu Li sat on the sofa, took out the prepared gift, and said to Shu Ran: "This is for you, happy birthday."

Shu Ran took the blue suede brocade box and said with a trembling voice, "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Ye."

His eyes turned red all of a sudden, and mist began to gather in his eyes. What Lu Li was most afraid of was that Shu Ran would cry to him, so he hurriedly said, "Why are you crying so hard?"

Tears dripped down her eyelashes, and upon hearing his words, Shu Ran wiped her face with her sleeve and smiled at him.

"I didn't cry," he said.

Lu Li didn't expose him, and sat down at the dining table. Seeing that the dishes on the table were still the usual four dishes and one soup, all hot and fragrant, Lu Li reached out to pick up his chopsticks, and said with a smile: "I forgot what is today?" It's your birthday? Why don't you cook some hearty dishes."

Shu Ran lowered her head and smiled: "It's just the two of us, if we can't finish eating, it will be wasted."

Lu Li thought of the past when he and Liang Jing ordered seventeen or eight dishes and only moved a few chopsticks in the end, thinking that it was really extravagant and wasteful.

Lu Li raised the goblet in his hand, which was half full of red wine, and said to Shu Ran, "Shu Ran, study hard."

Shu Ran also raised the glass, he pursed his lower lip, and gave a firm 'um'.

Lu Li did not expect that a few days after Shu Ran's birthday, the news that Shu Ran's mother was critically ill came from the hospital.

On the way he drove Shu Ran to the hospital, Shu Ran sat in the co-pilot without saying a word, staring at the neon lights outside the window, and clenched her hands unconsciously.

Lu Li comforted him: "It will be fine."

In fact, he knew that Shu Ran's mother would not survive tonight.

Shu Ran leaned back on the back of the chair, raised her head, and said in a nasal voice, "Mr. Ye, I'm afraid."

Lu Li didn't need to look to know that Shu Ran was holding back tears, he replied: "Don't be afraid, there is me."

Shu Ran responded softly, and secretly grabbed a corner of Lu Li's coat with her hand.

The red light above the operating room went out, and the doctor in a white coat took off his mask as he came out, and said with a sigh: "The patient has..." The result is self-evident.

Shu Ran's mother was already in the terminal stage of cancer when she was admitted to the hospital, and it was very rare to be able to delay it for more than a year. Even the best medical skills could not stop the ruthless attack of the disease.

The knuckles of Shu Ran's clenched palms turned white, Lu Li pulled him into his arms, Shu Ran tightly wrapped his hand around his waist, and his shirt was wet.

He heard Shu Ran's trembling voice saying intermittently: "Mr. Ye, I only have you..."
